Comcast is a media and technology company, and the owner of Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal. While we are a global corporation, we will always be a local company. We strive to strengthen local neighborhoods and communities because we recognize that being an active part of these communities is an integral part of our success, and our company culture is enriched by this diverse environment. We also seek strong connections with these communities because our employees live, work, and raise their families everywhere that we provide service. Comcast is committed to diversity – in our employment practices, our purchasing decisions, our programming and our community investment. Last year, more than 1,000 scholarships were awarded to diverse students.
